I don't know much about York. Just what I hear from our resident Niner fans but can we agree that he looks like a douche bag? I mean, he honestly looks like a spoiled rich douche bag that used to play pranks on "the help" as a kid.

Oh yeah, absolutely.
He looks like the type of guy who would slip a date rape drug into a high end prostitute's drink not because he needs to, but just because he's a total unrepetent scumbag.
That said, Eddie D. always looked like a guy who was fencing car stereos, and if forced to guess off picture alone I'd peg Paul Allen as a mortician who was deeefinitellly whispering "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" while molesting the corpses.
Edit: thanks for the cleanup, mod! (sincerely)

Wow. Impressive. If I tell you 10 times between noon and 9PM that its gonna get dark, does that make me a master prognosticator?
If you predict doom and gloom non-stop, you are eventually bound to be right and everyone forgets all the times you were wrong.
That's Kawakami.

That plus Aaron Rodgers was a local kid. Who grew up a 49ers fan.

So who was the GM that made that decision?
"I remember Aaron Rodgers … at Cal … the way he was taught, very high [delivery], never drop the ball down, very tight shoulder. One release, one release point, no matter what. Never thought in a million years he would look like Brett Favre in terms of all the different arm angles. Now you watch him, he throws it sideways. So, I guess the point I’m making is, as long as the little things [Colin] continues to do allow him to change the arm angles and the trajectory so that every ball doesn’t look the same and every release isn’t the same, that’s what you’re looking for.”
Baalke was in his first season as the 49ers’ western region scout in 2005, when the Niners selected Alex Smith first overall, and Rodgers fell to the Green Bay Packers at No. 24.

Mike Nolan was given total control, Scot McCloughan was hired away from the Seahawks as vice president of player personnel, and Trent Baalke was hired as the team's western region scout. I'm not sure if Baalke ever took the blame for his respective evaluations of Alex Smith vs. Aaron Rodgers. As the team's western region scout during that draft, I am sure he had input.

:lol:
So in your world Baalke doesn't get any credit for the 2010 draft because he had only been GM for a few months before it, but takes blame for 9ers selecting Alex Smith because he was in his first year as regional scout? Amazing.
RE: the Smith/Rodgers thing more broadly:
1) He may have ended up being better than Smith, but I seriously don't think Aaron Rodgers would have ever become Aaron Rodgers had the 9ers drafted him first overall.
2) It's not like it was just the 9ers who "missed" on Aaron Rodgers. The guy was only in the conversation for being a top pick to begin with because of the 9ers. He fell to #24 overall.
Kinda crazy going back and looking at it, as there's a ton of teams on there who passed on hm and a decade later are STILL looking for an above average QB, let alone the best one:

(still don't think he ever becomes the Aaron Rodgers we know on most of those teams, though).
